Taiwan-US International Engagement: The Global Cooperation Training Framework and Beyond
The Elliot School of International Affairs hosts a roundtable on the Taiwan-US Global Cooperation Training Framework.
Where

On June 1, 2015 the U.S. and Taiwan launched the U.S.-Taiwan Global Cooperation and Training Framework Agreement. The Framework will not only support broader U.S.-Taiwan cooperation, but will also give the two countries a strong platform to enhance joint engagement in the Asia Pacific region and the world. The Framework is a milestone that will bring into full focus Taiwan's dramatic transformation from an international aid recipient to an aid provider, and provide a venue for both the U.S. and Taiwan to contribute to the development of other countries in the Asia-Pacific and around the world.
